Indigenous community hosts full moon ceremony ...

Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.

Smart water meters, asset management on Regina council agenda

Smart water meters and asset management are some items on the agenda for Regina city council's meeting Wednesday afternoon. Last week, the city's executive committee signed off on new bylaw amendments to help introduce new smart water meters in every home and business in the city. According to a report by city staff presented to the executive committee, the new meters align with the city's goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. On Wednesday, council must decide whether to approve the changes.
